Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing method.
  • a heat-sensitive adhesive label capable of adhering to various products
  • a well-known thermal head which is widely adopted in a thermal printer. By using the thermal head, it is possible to easily cause the heat-sensitive adhesive layer to exhibit the adhesive properties partially, and to cause an adhesive part and a non-adhesive part to exist next to each other relatively freely.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive label having a surface on which characters, symbols, designs, etc. are recorded is obtained by providing a heat-sensitive coloring layer on the other side of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet, and partially heating the heat-sensitive coloring layer to develop color.
  • the thermal head is arranged at a position of being brought into contact with the heat-sensitive adhesive layer as described above, and a platen roller is arranged at a position of being opposed to the thermal head.
  • the platen roller presses the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet against the thermal head, and functions to convey the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet by its rotation.
  • a discharge roller is arranged on a downstream side of the thermal head and the platen roller, that is, between the thermal head and the platen roller, and a discharge port for the heat-sensitive adhesive label.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is stopped immediately at the point in time when a rear end portion of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet moves away from a position of being brought into contact with the platen roller, there may arise a problem that the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is held at a position of being brought into contact with the thermal head, and thus the heat-sensitive adhesive layer adheres to the thermal head, and a problem that, even though the heat-sensitive coloring layer is not directly brought into contact with a heating portion of the thermal head, the heat-sensitive coloring layer develops unexpected color due to transmission of heat at the contact position between the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet and the thermal head or in the vicinity of the contact position.
  • the above-mentioned discharge roller is provided, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet having the rear end portion which has moved away from the position of being brought into contact with the platen roller. Owing to provision of the discharge roller, the thermally-activated heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is separated from the thermal head, and it is possible to prevent the heat-sensitive adhesive layer from adhering to the thermal head, and to prevent the heat-sensitive coloring layer from developing unexpected color.
  • the discharge roller holds the heat-sensitive adhesive label while lightly sandwiching the same between a guide member and the discharge roller in the vicinity of the discharge port, and functions to allow a user to easily take out the heat-sensitive adhesive label with a small force.
  • Patent Document 1 proposes that discharge rollers (rotating bodies) are axially situated at intervals and have a plurality of wheel-shaped small protrusions, and an outer shape of the wheel-shaped protrusions is formed into a star shape or a gear shape, to thereby reduce a contact area with the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet and to reduce an amount of adhesion of the heat-sensitive adhesive.
  • JP 2005-239202 A proposes that by shifting a position of a discharge roller (conveyor roller) to a side of the platen roller, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is easily separated from the thermal head, and thus stress generated on a contact surface between the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet and the discharge roller is reduced, to thereby prevent the heat-sensitive adhesive from adhering to the discharge roller.
  • EP 1602500 discloses a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device having the features set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device and a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing method capable of preventing the heat-sensitive adhesive from adhering to and depositing in the outer peripheral surface of the discharge roller.
  • a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device which manufactures a heat-sensitive adhesive label from a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet having a heat-sensitive adhesive layer, includes: a thermal activation means for heating and thermally activating the heat-sensitive adhesive layer while being in contact with the heat-sensitive adhesive layer; a platen roller which is situated opposed to the thermal activation means; and a discharge roller which is situated on a downstream side of the thermal activation means and the platen roller.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the discharge roller rotates at a peripheral speed different from a peripheral speed of the platen roller.
  • the discharge roller may have an outer diameter different from an outer diameter of the platen roller. Further, the discharge roller may be connected to a drive gear through an intermediation of a transmission gear having a gear ratio different from a gear ratio of a transmission gear for connecting the platen roller and the drive gear. Alternatively, the discharge roller and the platen roller may be driven by different drive means, respectively.
  • a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing method of manufacturing a heat-sensitive adhesive label from a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet having a heat-sensitive adhesive layer includes: rotating, in order to convey the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet, a platen roller situated opposed to a thermal activation means for heating the heat-sensitive adhesive layer; and rotating a discharge roller situated on a downstream side of the platen roller at a peripheral speed different from a peripheral speed of the platen roller.
  • the discharge roller may include a plurality of discharge rollers, and at least a discharge roller closest to the thermal activation means and the platen roller among the plurality of discharge rollers may be rotated at the peripheral speed different from the peripheral speed of the platen roller.
  • a difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller and the peripheral speed of the discharge roller is preferably 10% or more, and more preferably 20% or more to 50% or less.
  • the difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller and the peripheral speed of the discharge roller is provided, and hence there is reduced a period of time in which the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is conveyed while the heat-sensitive adhesive layer of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet and an outer peripheral surface of the discharge roller are held in contact with each other at one and the same position.
  • it is unnecessary to consider a trouble caused by the adhesion to the outer peripheral surface of the discharge roller and hence there can be used a heat-sensitive adhesive which can firmly adhere to an adherend having a rough surface and exerts strong adhesive strength.
  • FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic views illustrating a main part of a heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device of the present invention.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device includes a thermal activation section 1, and a label discharging section 2 situated on a downstream side of the thermal activation section 1.
  • the thermal activation section 1 includes a thermal head 3 serving as thermal activation means, and a platen roller 4 situated opposed to the thermal head 3.
  • the label discharging section 2 includes discharge rollers 5, and a guide member 6 situated opposed to the discharge rollers 5.
  • a nip portion between the thermal head 3 and the platen roller 4, a gap between the discharge rollers 5 and the guide member 6, and a discharge port 7 opening toward an outside of a casing of the heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device are aligned with each other to constitute a path for a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 which is used as a heat-sensitive adhesive label.
  • a sheet which is obtained by cutting the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 by a predetermined length and exerts adhesive strength is referred to as the heat-sensitive adhesive label.
  • a side opposite to an adhesive side (side on which a heat-sensitive adhesive layer exists) may be a recording side (side on which a heat-sensitive coloring layer exists) for characters, symbols, designs, etc.
  • cutting of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 by the predetermined length is already performed before the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 enters the thermal activation section 1.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (heat-sensitive adhesive label) moves away from a position of being brought into contact with the platen roller 4, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (heat-sensitive adhesive label) is further conveyed to the downstream side by the discharge rollers 5, and does not remain at a contact position with the thermal head 3 or in the vicinity of the contact position.
  • FIG. 1B at a position at which the rearward end portion of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (heat-sensitive adhesive label) fully moves away from the position of being brought into contact with the platen roller 4, the rotation of the discharge rollers 5 is stopped, and the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 is held in a state in which a forward end portion thereof sticks out of the discharge port 7 toward the outside.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 obtains a conveying force by the rotation of the platen roller 4 and the rotation of the discharge rollers 5.
  • a peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 is not the same as that of the discharge rollers 5, and there is a difference in speed between both the rollers. Description is made below on a technical significance thereof.
  • the applicant of the present invention examined adhesion and deposition of a heat-sensitive adhesive 25 with respect to an outer peripheral surface of each of conventional discharge rollers 24 as described above, and considered that easy occurrence of the adhesion and deposition of the heat-sensitive adhesive 25 is attributed in part to the existence of a period of time in which a constant contact state between the thermally-activated heat-sensitive adhesive layer and the outer peripheral surface of each of the discharge rollers 24 is maintained.
  • the applicant of the present invention has conceived an idea that, when a period of time, in which the heat-sensitive adhesive layer and the outer peripheral surface of each of the discharge rollers are held in contact with each other at one and the same position, is reduced as possible and when there is no period of time enough for the heat-sensitive adhesive to adhere to the outer peripheral surface of each of the discharge rollers, it is possible to prevent the heat-sensitive adhesive from adhering to the outer peripheral surface of each of the discharge rollers.
  • the present invention there is provided a difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5 and the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 which determines a conveying speed of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 at a point in time when the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 enters the label discharging section 2.
  • the discharge rollers 5 do not completely synchronize with the advance of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8, whereas the discharge rollers 5 rotate while slightly spinning without conveying the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (while slipping with respect to the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8).
  • FIG. 4A illustrates a state after the sum of lengths of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheets 23, which have been caused to pass through since the start of manufacture of the heat-sensitive adhesive label, reaches substantially a few hundred meters.
  • FIG. 4B illustrates a state after the sum of lengths of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheets 8, which have been caused to pass through since the start of manufacture of the heat-sensitive adhesive label, reaches substantially a few kilometers.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive 9 adheres to and deposits in outer peripheral surfaces of gear-shaped protrusions of the discharge rollers 5 in extremely small quantities, and there is largely decreased a risk that winding of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet similar to that of FIG. 11 or jamming thereof similar to that of FIG. 12 occurs.
  • the platen roller 4 and the discharge rollers 5 are driven by a drive gear 10 connected to a drive motor (not shown) through the intermediation of transmission gears 11a to 11 d having the same number of teeth.
  • an outer diameter of the platen roller 4 is set 1.3 times as large as an outer diameter D of the discharge rollers 5, and hence the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 becomes 1.3 times as high as the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5.
  • the outer diameter of the platen roller 4 corresponds to the outer diameter D of the discharge rollers 5.
  • the platen roller 4 is driven by the drive gear 10 connected to the drive motor (not shown) through the intermediation of the transmission gears 11 a to 11c, whereas the discharge rollers 5 are driven by the drive gear 10 through the intermediation of the transmission gear 11a and a transmission gear 12.
  • the transmission gear 12 has 1.5 times as large number of teeth as other gears 10 and 11 a to 11c have. Therefore, the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 becomes 1.5 times as high as the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5.
  • the outer diameter of the platen roller 4 can be made different in size from the outer diameter D of the discharge rollers 5, and the number of the teeth of the transmission gears between the drive motor and the platen roller 4 can be made different from the number of the teeth of the transmission gears between the drive motor and the discharge rollers 5. With this configuration, it is possible to provide the difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 and the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5.
  • the platen roller 4 and the discharge rollers 5 may be driven by independent drive motors, respectively, and the rpm of each of the drive motors is changed. As a result, it is possible to provide the difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 and the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5.
  • the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 is set higher than the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5. However, it is considered that the same effect can be obtained even when the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5 is set lower than the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4. However, if the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers is set zero, that is, when driven rollers that do not rotate actively are used as the discharge rollers, the heat-sensitive adhesive layer adheres to the thermal head and the heat-sensitive coloring layer develops unexpected color. In addition, the heat-sensitive adhesive adheres to the outer peripheral surfaces of the discharge rollers in large quantities to deposit therein.
  • the difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 and the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5 is required to be 10% or more. This is because when the difference in speed is small, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 adheres to the discharge rollers 5 due to the adhesive strength of the heat-sensitive adhesive 9 to advance in synchronization with the discharge rollers 5.
  • the difference in speed is 10% or more, preferably 20% or more, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 slips with respect to the discharge rollers 5, and continues to advance at the speed based on the rotation of the platen roller 4 out of synchronization with the rotation of the discharge rollers 5. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the above-mentioned effect of the present invention.
  • the most preferred difference in speed between the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4 and the peripheral speed of the discharge rollers 5 is 20% to 50% although beneficial effects can still be obtained outside either end of this range. The same holds true for a case where the platen roller 4 is higher or lower in speed than the discharge rollers 5.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates an entire configuration example of the heat-sensitive adhesive label manufacturing device including the above-mentioned thermal activation section 1 and the label discharging section 2.
  • a roll body receiving section 13 for receiving a roll body 8a constituted by the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 of continuous forms, a recording section 14, and a cutting section 15 are provided on the upstream side of the above-mentioned thermal activation section 1 and the label discharging section 2.
  • the roll body receiving section 13 includes a holding member 16 for holding the roll body 8a.
  • the recording section 14 includes a thermal head 17 arranged at a position of being brought into contact with the heat-sensitive coloring layer of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8, and a platen roller 18 opposed to the thermal head 17.
  • the thermal head 17 has the same configuration as that of the above-mentioned thermal head 3 of the thermal activation section 1.
  • the thermal heads 3 and 17 having the same configuration are provided to serve as heating means for recording and heating means for thermal activation. Thus, in comparison with a case where the heating means having different configurations are provided, it is possible to realize simplification of a control mechanism and a reduction in manufacturing cost.
  • the platen roller 18 imparts the conveying force to the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 by the rotation thereof, and functions to bring the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 into press-contact with the thermal head 17 at the time of recording.
  • the cutting section 15 serves as a cutter including a movable blade 15a and a fixed blade 15b, and the movable blade 15a moves toward the fixed blade 15b so as to cut the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 by sandwiching the same.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 is drawn out from the roll body 8a held by the holding member 16 of the roll body receiving section 13, and is fed to the recording section 14.
  • the platen roller 18 rotates to cause the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 to advance, and the thermal head 17 is driven to heat the heat-sensitive coloring layer of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8, to thereby cause the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 to develop color.
  • the thermal head 17 includes a large number of heating elements that are independently driven, and the heating elements are selectively driven at appropriate timing. As a result, it is possible to record arbitrary characters, symbols, designs, etc. on the heat-sensitive coloring layer.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 which is subjected to recording on the heat-sensitive coloring layer as described above, is cut into a label having a predetermined length in the cutting section 15.
  • the cut heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 is fed to the thermal activation section 1.
  • the platen roller 4 rotates to cause the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 to advance, and the thermal head 3 is driven to heat and thermally activate the heat-sensitive adhesive layer.
  • the heating elements are selectively driven at the appropriate timing. As a result, only a desired part of the heat-sensitive adhesive layer exhibits the adhesive properties, and an adhesive part and a non-adhesive part can exist next to each other in one label relatively freely.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (heat-sensitive adhesive label) activated thermally as described above is caused to further advance by the discharge rollers 5 of the label discharging section 2, and the rotation of the discharge rollers 5 is stopped in a state in which the forward end portion of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 sticks out of the discharge port 7 toward the outside to such an extent that a user can easily take out the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8.
  • the rear portion of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 (heat-sensitive adhesive label) is held in the gap between the discharge rollers 5 and the guide member 6. In this way, there is completed the heat-sensitive adhesive label of a predetermined length which has one side (heat-sensitive coloring layer) on which desired recording is performed, and the opposite side (heat-sensitive adhesive layer) exhibiting the adhesive properties entirely or partially.
  • each of the discharge rollers 5 exhibit non-adhesive properties on at least its outer peripheral surface owing to non-adhesive coating or the like.
  • each of the discharge rollers 5 have a plurality of wheel-shaped small protrusions 5a which are axially situated at intervals.
  • the wheel-shaped protrusions 5a of each of the discharge rollers 5 have a star shape or a gear shape. Further, as illustrated in FIGS.
  • the protrusions 5a of each of the discharge rollers 5 be formed into a shape which is narrowed toward its outer periphery and has the smaller contact area with the heat-sensitive adhesive layer.
  • such an improvement in shape regarding the discharge rollers 5 is not essential, and is unnecessary particularly when a heat-sensitive adhesive which originally exerts relatively small adhesive strength is used.
  • two discharge rollers 5 are provided so as to be opposed to the guide member 6.
  • the heat-sensitive adhesive 9 remarkably adheres to and deposits in the discharge roller 5 closest to the thermal activation section 1. Therefore, it is sufficient to provide the difference in speed as described above such that only the discharge roller 5 closest to the thermal activation section 1 has the peripheral speed different from the peripheral speed of the platen roller 4, and it is unnecessary to particularly limit the peripheral speed of the other discharge roller 5.
  • the other discharge roller 5 may have the same peripheral speed as that of the discharge roller 5 closest to the thermal activation section 1, or the peripheral speed same as or different from that of the platen roller 4.
  • the other discharge roller 5 may be a driven roller that does not rotate actively.
  • the point of the present invention is to provide at least the difference in peripheral speed between the discharge roller 5 closest to the thermal activation section 1 and the platen roller 4.
  • This configuration is adopted to reduce a force for adhering to the discharge rollers 5 by decreasing pressure applied from the guide member 6 to the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 and by also decreasing pressure at which the heat-sensitive adhesive layer comes into contact with the discharge rollers 5 on the opposite side of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8.
  • a frictional coefficient of the adhesive side (heat-sensitive adhesive layer) is high, and hence no problem arises in conveyance of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 by the discharge rollers 5 even when contact is held at low pressure.
  • an opposed roller may be a roller that actively rotates or a driven roller that does not actively rotate. Normally, the guide member 6 and the opposed roller are brought into contact with the side of the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 8 which is out of contact with the heat-sensitive adhesive layer thereof, and hence it is unnecessary to consider preventing adhesion of the heat-sensitive adhesive 9.
